Value of Vintage Wright & McGill Fiberglass Fishing Rods (1950s-70s)


Question
I have a Wright Mcgill 6 1/2' trailmaster glass rod, new in aluminum carrying case. Model # 4TMS. It was my Dad's and was purchased sometime in the 50's

Answer
Bob,
I  am a bamboo man not fiberglass. Fiberglass is just not collected like bamboo. It was made from the 1950s to the 70s.
And spin / cast rods aren't collected like fly rods so low resale values.
I have no specific history or books on fiberglass, I believe they don't exist, but here's two web sites that on fiberglass:
http://fiberglass-fly-rods.pbwiki.com/
http://www.fiberglassflyrodders.info/

Your rod is not in Antique & Collectible  Fishing Rods: Identification & Value Guide Homel, Dan. 1997 (2nd edition 2000) add about 30% for age of book.


Luck,
Mac
